IMO you will kill the box eventually with that setup. How long, anyone's guess.

Contact a rebuilder that knows whats going on, talk to them about your use and what they can offer.

KEAS, Yarra Vally Auto's - there are plenty of others around

You'll be wanted higher stall as well to get a bit of mumbo going off the brake etc etc.

depends how serious you want to get, and your budget.

You might even find starting off with a R33 box might be better - so call a few of them and discuss.

just wanting a fast e.t. nos will help it along,

i dont intend on having a purpose built dragger

That's what they all say at the start, then 3 years down the track the car has no interior, plexiglass and a full ANDRA spec cage.

I don't think you will have any problem with 250kw out of the 20 (depending on the previous life and they way you treat it)

This is a graph from an internally standard RB20;

It was built using an old smoking motor that was lying around the workshop.

The engine was stripped down, cleaned and reassembled using all the original internals with new rings and bearings added.

A metal headgasket was used and the standard springs were shimmed up to give a little more seat pressure.

The standard rb20det cams are still used but with some "special timing" Without a doubt this is the main limiting factor currently.

One of the reason so much boost is used is to overcome the flow limitations of the std head/cams.

A spare gtr inlet plenum was cut and welded on to the std rb20det inlet runners. The alignment of the runners is off and i am sure this is doing more harm than good, but hey, it's all just for a bit of fun.

There are some cheap bolt on parts used. Cam pulleys, fmic, throttle body, exhaust manifold and wastegate are all ebay cheapies.

The whole project was done as cheaply as possible, in our spare time afterhours, while on the piss.

Now the original plan was to see what sort of numbers could be made from a std internal std capacity rb20det using a remapped factory ecu.

I figured anything over 300rwkw would be a decent number. I also fully expected it to shit out and throw a rod or something.

Pretty much started at 20psi and went up 2psi at a time until the motor blew or it stopped making power. Neither has happened yet.

pretty sure it when bang too 30psi and 373 is a ticking time bomb, was a R32 featured in a mag not too long ago yea? :thumbsup:

nope, that engine never died. It was pulled out after that night as they had a built 25/30 to go in the car. It did over 100 runs above 300kw as well. Last time i was at TT getting my 180 tuned it was sitting in the corner still intact.

LOL and it was a lot more than 30 psi, that's just where the 2 BAR map sensor on the dyno stopped reading.

Here's a thread about it;

If your engine has no blow by, knocks or rattles and comes back with a healthy compression test result, then there is no reason why you can reliably make 250rwkws and run up to 17psi.

To do this reliably, make sure your fuelling is sorted, inlet temps and coolant/oil temps are not skyrocketing when you are giving it a squirt and make sure the tuning is good. From there, make sure you always have a good sump of quality oil, i recommend Castrol Edge 10W60 and enjoy RB20 goodness for a long time

I don't think stock turbine housing can be high flowed to archeive 250rwkws on RB20 thou, ATR43G4 (3582 spec) CHRA in a .82 rear internally gated should be more then enough to make 250rwkws with supporting mods.

Stock internals should be able to do the job with out much issues.

    • Jax Tyres Smithfeild Ive gone there a few time, well for tyres. on my 3rd visit I spoke to the dude and told how i just got slugged for rotors, brakes ect. His reply was golden; have you read whats on the front of the building. Never forgot it.       before picture, good friend got all these goodies installed.  Well time to study, servicing, maintenance all before this weekend driving lesson.  
    • Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.
    • Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?
    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
